Apart from plein air and master studies, are photos the best way to study environments and become better at them. You know, what if I grind on environments for weeks non stop? Because that's my brilliant plan and approach to everything ever. I dunno.
Of course it would take at least a year before I see genuine results that could be comparable. I saw a conceptart.org post from Noah Bradley from 2010 and he posted his progression of one year and basically said that studying photographs and masters was his process. And it was really solid improvement. But knowing him he probably did loads of plein airs though...
I just don't want to be wasting time on something that isn't going to get me anywhere. So if anyone out there has tried this could you perhaps help me determine if this is a good approach?
